Had a good stay. Employees polite and answered all questions asked. Enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and gym. Only question is why do you have to pay for parking when staying at hotel? Never had to do it any any other places that I've stayed.
Very close to Universal Studios. Rooms are clean and spacious, and to my surprise come with mini-fridge and microwave. There is a swimming pool, hot tub, and game room. There are nearby great restaurants as well.
Close to Universal Parks and shopping and eating. Have stayed several times at this location and really enjoy it. Really nice outdoor area with areas to sit, fire pits, pool, and outdoor bar
I got to the hotel early and asked the reception if I could check in early. She immediately took care of us and put us in a room. She was nice and very professional.
The shuttle park service that is offered to the parks is free only during designated times : 8:30 am / 9:30 am and 8:15 pm and 9:30 pm . This was misrepresented by Orbotz.com which only lists that this hotel has free shuttle park service . I would not have chosen this hotel if I knew that there were designated times only . Next time I will book at Saphire Falls or one of the Lowes hotels that offer shuttles throughout the day . It is very expensive to pay uber ahd or taxis to go back and forth throughout the day . Otherwise the hotel was okay , I've stayed at better .
Went into hotel room early and sheets where not changed but house keeping changed them asap and everyone and everything was excellent and loved the pool
It's not easy to reach 5 stars, Crowne Plaza is an outstanding hotel.
Nice place. Hard to turn out of property and other cars don't readily let you in.
To say our trip to Orlando had not gone as planned would be an understatement. Mudslides, traffic jams, long waits for a rental car, and i was thinking to myself , Maybe i should never come back to orlando. Crown Plaza and their staff changed that thinking. When we arrived, the valet met us at the car with a smile, a bellman met us with a luggage cart and a smile, and the desk clerk made us feel right at home. it was literally the perfect ending to a horrible day. We stayed two nights, and had room service for two nights and their food is ridiculously good for hotel food. Their location is right down the road from Universal and Seaworld, and they have a free shuttle if you dont want to pay for parking. I can honestly say, this is the hotel i will stay at when in town for buisness or pleasure. Fantastic all the way around!!
Great location, excellent service and very friendly staff. We totally enjoy our stay and will do it again.
Wonderful stay , no complain , nice clean hotel , nice complimentary executive breakfast,
Great hotel. The only complaint is that they charge you 12.00 a day to park your car. Also the restaurant was expensive beautiful pool area.
Staff was amazing. We honestly expected the rooms to be a little bigger and nicer. The rooms were just your standard hotel room you would get at a cheaper hotel. There arent even mini fridges in the rooms so you have to spend more money buying cold drinks.
I was surprised to see the hotel under construction and I wish the front desk staff would have told us they had breakfast there lol
Expected better from this high end of a hotel. Charged for parking, no complimentary breakfast, no fridge to keep our waters in. The A/C and lights were much louder than to be expected. Sorta close, but that is about the only perk- other hotels would be a better find for park-goers.
the stay was nice, but we thought there would be complimentary wifi from the website but there was not.
It is the perfect location and really easy to enjoy Universal.
We had tickets to the Hardrock for a show and wanted some plance To stay for the night. (We are from a neighboring city). What a great hotel, a great value for the price and a very short ride to Universal.
We went on a trip with 12 family members . Would have preferred to be on the same floor. But we had nice spacious rooms we were upgraded to suites Staff was very helpful. They had a free shuttle service to Universal studios
Beautiful hotel, was very satisfied with my stay. The only thing I did not like was how rough the bed's comforter was, it irritated my skin. Other than that, very happy.

Thank you for this wonderful review. We're so glad to know you enjoyed your stay and experience. I'm sorry to learn you were having trouble with the wifi. Knowing this allows to research what happened and make the appropriate changes to ensure it does not happen again. We do hope you'll choose to stay with us again when you're in Orlando. When you're making your reservations please request a mini-fridge and microwave. Not all our rooms are equipped and this will ensure you receive those.

Pam, thank you for this review. Our shuttle is scheduled by the provider. As they update their schedule we update our website and other platforms. I will send this to our marketing team to ensure the listing is accurate. I apologize that you were not aware of this. I hope otherwise you enjoyed your stay. We are also completely renovating the property. We hope you'll visit with us the next time you're in Orlando. I'm sure you'll love it.

Thank you for this wonderful review and 5 star rating. We are most appreciative. We do hope you'll have an opportunity to return soon. There's always so much to do in Orlando. Soon, Universal Orlando is opening Volcano Bay, their new water park. It's sure to be amazing!

Thank you for this great 5 star rating. It's great to know you enjoyed the hotel. Apologies for the traffic. Being so close to the attractions the area can become rather busy. Next time, we'd be happy to arrange a car for you or you can take the complimentary shuttle to the parks.

Great location, excellent service and very friendly staff. We totally enjoy our stay and will do it again.
Thank you for this wonderful review and rating. It's great to see that you enjoyed your experience overall. And thank you for your thoughts on the parking fees. We don't include our parking fee in the room rates because many of our guests often do not have a car since we offer the complimentary shuttles to the parks. But our parking is competitively priced among the other area full-service hotels. When you're making plans to visit with us again you may be interested in our parking package on our website. We are looking forward to seeing you next time.
